Distribution ratio between A, B and C is: 6:5:4

Ratio Difference between A and C is: 6-4 = 2

Shortcut Method:

For this type of Partnership problems, use the below given Matrix format to get answer in few

steps.

𝑆𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 ⋯ 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡

⋮ ⋱ ⋮  Equation (1)
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶 ⋯ 𝑥

Explanation for the above Matrix Format:

Sum of the Ratio- Add the given ratio of distribution of A, B and C

Total Amount- Given Total Amount that to be distributed.

Ratio difference of A and C- From the given data, find the ratio difference of A and C.
